Church funds tumor removal

The only thing 11-year-old José Antonio Ramírez Serrano wishes to do is run through the dirt streets of his hometown of Juárez - and maybe have some homemade flautas.

But a massive tumor on his neck has for several years prevented him from running, jumping or moving about like most kids his age. And his health has sent him far from home, putting those flautas beyond reach.

His wishes, however, might soon come true.

José, who made national headlines in 2012 because a New Mexico church made it its mission to help him, is scheduled to undergo a risky surgical procedure to remove the tumor in mid-November. This will be his first surgery after two years of receiving medical treatment at the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque, where he has traveled to at least once a month from Juárez.

José suffers from a disease called venous lymphangioma - a malformation that usually affects the neck and head area and develops into a huge growth.

Golfer hits string of holes in one

Like a lot of golfers who are fortunate to have more than one hole in one, Dom DeBonis had to wait a long time between his first and second ace. Like, 45 years.

But once he recorded the second one, the aces started running wild.

It is rare enough that in a span of 33 days, DeBonis, 81, had four holes-in-one on four courses in three states.

Even more remarkable is that this Sharpsburg, Pa., native had a hole-in-one on three consecutive days while playing golf on a buddy trip in the Myrtle Beach, S.C., area - a feat so improbable the National Hole-in-One Association had never attempted to calculate the odds of that happening.

Archaeologists working in the sand dunes along the Central California coast are digging up ancient sphinxes - but these are made of plaster.

More than 90 years ago, legendary filmmaker Cecile B. DeMille erected 21 giant sphinxes and an 800-foot-wide temple as a set for the silent, black-and-white classic movie "The Ten Commandments."

But in 1923, when filming was over, DeMille abandoned them there among the sands of the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes.

Now, archaeologists are digging for the fragile plaster sphinxes and last week began excavations on one that they hope will eventually be on display at the nearby Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Center, which has raised $120,000 for the dig.
